Miriam, sister to Keith, wrote the family history notes which have been of great help in researching the family. It is only fitting to celebrate her life. Miriam was born January 15, 1906 and was probably baptized shortly after at the catholic church in International Falls.

Vivian, Gordon and baby Miriam

This photograph shows three of the McDonald children. Vivian (Leola Vivian) is the little girl holding her baby sister Miriam (Miriam Audrey) in her arms. The little boy to her right is Gordon (Ronald Gordon).

Grace their mother was pregnant with Miriam when another event took place in her life. Grace’s Uncle Alexander Barclay, brother to her father George Angus Barclay, died on December 7, 1905 at the Rochester Hospital in Olmsted Co., Minnesota. Grace started the probate process for his estate. She could not attend the court sessions because she was “indisposed” and she could not travel after the birth. Alexander’s estate file has contributed a great deal of information on the Barclay family which I am currently blogging about in The Barclays of Pine Riverhttp://barclayspineriver.wordpress.com/.
